Net Basics by Netwebbers

In the market for a website, but not sure where to start? We have put together this summary called net basics which will explain the workings of a website, and how Netwebbers can help you establish your Internet presence.

You will need three things to get a website up and running on the Internet:

Domain Name. Each and every website on the Internet has a domain name, such as www.netwebbers.net. This domain name is considered your Internet address, and is also known as a URL (uniform resource locator). The first step in having your own website is to purchase the domain name of your choice, or the closest equivalent to your first choice based on availability. A secure, private domain name can cost as little as $20 per year. You may already have a domain name which you would like to transfer to a newer, low-cost registrant. Whether you need help registering or transferring a new or existing domain name, Netwebbers can guide you or even do the work for you.

Hosting Services. Each and every website on the Internet is hosted on a server. If you compare website hosting to renting a storefront, then that piece of cyberspace where you park your domain name is your Internet store. You need to rent or purchase that storefront in order to display your goods and services. Web hosting fees are usually based on the amount of bandwidth (or storefront square footage) that your website requires, and the rates can vary among hosting companies from $5 to $85 per month and more. Beware of hidden fees. A hosting company that offers $5 per month service may only allow a small amount of bandwidth usage per month for that rate, and if exceeded, your site could shut down automatically or your hosting bill could skyrocket. At Netwebbers, we offer very reasonable rates for hosting ranging from $15 to $25 per month with unlimited amounts of bandwidth usage, and transferring an existing domain to our servers is easy.

Website Design. Once you have established your domain name and host server, the final and a very crucial step to having your own website is the website design. A typical website would consist of anywhere from 3 to 20 or more pages, and a good website is attractive, easy to navigate, and contains a wealth of content. You may have a concept in mind, or your company may already be using graphic designs or logos for promotional materials. These items can all be incorporated into your site, and new design elements can be created and added easily. At Netwebbers we will work with you to help design the website you envision at a price you can afford.

By providing these services: domain name registration, website hosting, and website design, Netwebbers can have your site up and running on the Internet in no time.
